The game „ISUNGUR – Save your Viking Village“ is a point-and-click adventure for children up to 14 years. The serious game combines knowledge and fun. It takes the player on a journey to the Northern Europe of the year 845 and offers an entertaining and playful way to gain insights into the fascinating culture of the Vikings.
The player‘s viking village was raided; important goods, inventories and the most precious sword of the clan leader were stolen. A hard winter is coming. How will the clan survive? The player finds himself in a Coming-of-Age Story in which he has to prove that he is not a child anymore and able to save his village. This is why the game is called “Isungur” – after an old nordic name for “hero”.

THE CLEANERS
A film by Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck
When you post something on the web, can you be sure it stays there? Enter a hidden shadow industry of digital cleaning, where the Internet rids itself of what it doesn't like. Who is controlling what we see… and what we think? “A neon-lit documentary shot like a noir thriller.” Variety “The Cleaners is a riveting documentary about how social media might be ruining the world. A movie of the moment.” The Verge “Smart, stylish doc exposes must-discuss issues regarding the companies who dominate the internet.” The Hollywood Reporter “The film is packed with pressing questions faced by internet giants, governments, and you and me.” Cnet.com "On the basis of The Cleaners, it feels as if a Frankenstein’s monster has been created and is now out of control."

The web-based game “ISUNGUR- Save Your Viking Village” (WT: Vikings) takes children and teenagers at the age of 9 to 12 on a journey to Northern Europe of the year 845 and offers a completely new, entertaining and playful way of gaining insights into the fascinating culture of the Vikings.
Today it is possible, thanks to new findings, to straighten out some of the old myths: the Vikings were successful state leaders, they established the oldest parliament in the world (after the Ancient Greeks and the Romans) and modernised jurisdiction in Europe. They operated a global network of trade and successfully maintained relationships from Byzantium to Baghdad. However, the Vikings were also skilful craftsmen and sensitive poets, they attached great importance to cleanliness and enjoyed ice-skating.
We offer a completely new way to learn about the unknown side of the legendary people from the north by joining them with an interactive journey through history. New media solutions are able to extend an interdisciplinary curriculum with innovative and contemporary teaching methods. The combination of documentary video material, interviews, mini-games, film clips, pictures and short texts creates an entertaining knowledge play for the target group. The web-based roleplaying game can be played in single-player mode and offers an exchange with other players in the fields of history, geography, literature, music and ethics. Trough the similarities to the curriculums in 7th and 8th grade classes the game can be used in schools, too. Therefore interactive elements will be linked to conventional teaching methods.
The game will be availabe in German, English and Norwegian.
